How can I create a filter using a Group by or break level function

[Khaled Sherif]

For example, how can I create a query that shows how many epics i have in each release. For example:

Release 1

      Epic TST-1.     DONE

      Epic TST-3.     IN PROGRESS

Total: 2 Epics, 1 Done, 1 In progress

Release 2

      Epic TST-5.     IN QA

      Epic TST-6.     IN PROGRESS

      Epic TEST-11.  IN QA

Total: 3 Epics, 2 IN QA, 1 In progress

Hello @Khaled Sherif 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

The native Jira filtering capabilities do not include a "Group by" option. They provide only an Order By option.

Additionally the filtering is designed retrieve issues based on criteria, not to retrieve other types of entities and then the issues associated with them.

You could create multiple filters to retrieve Epics where Fix Version is set to each Release of interest. You could use a Jira Dashboard and the Filter Results gadget (for example) to display the results of each filter you created, to show the information for all Releases in one view.

Thanks @Trudy Claspill I think the multiple filters and showing them on a dashboard is a good workaround to what I wanted to do
